Here's a snippet you can paste into your latex document to reveal the values of \textwidth and \linewidth printed into your document. First include this in your header:

\usepackage{layouts}

Then in your content someplace:

textwidth: \printinunitsof{in}\prntlen{\textwidth}

linewidth: \printinunitsof{in}\prntlen{\linewidth}
